Andrew Bennett suddenly felt something appear in his hand and hurried to check it.

Sealed Immortal Severing Staff: Attack 13, all spell casting times reduced by 10%, all spell cooldowns reduced by 10%, grade: Silver. ‘Inheritance of Immortal Severing’ set component, quest item, non-tradable, cannot be dropped. Set grade: Epic.

When he saw the word “Epic,” Andrew Bennett’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that equipment grades were divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, Legendary, Epic, Mythic, and Fantasy. Currently, the highest grade of equipment players had seemed to be Silver. He hadn’t expected this Sealed Immortal Severing Staff to actually be a component of an Epic set, but why was the staff itself only Silver grade? Could it be that only by collecting the full set could it unleash its full power?

Moreover, Andrew Bennett was a bit puzzled—did this Attack 13 refer to physical attack or spell attack? Opening his character stats, he found that both his physical and spell attack stats had disappeared, leaving only Attack. Spirit and Strength were also gone, leaving only Stamina. Was this the effect of the Immortal Severing inheritance?

Andrew Bennett added six points to Stamina and found that his Attack increased. He slashed at a little demon, and his ordinary physical attack actually dealt damage as powerful as magic, knocking the little demon to the ground. Andrew Bennett was overjoyed. The Immortal Severing inheritance meant he would embark on a path of both magic and martial arts. He could cast witchcraft and also fight in close combat. It was similar to the magic warriors in Tianxia, but in Tianxia, magic warriors who cultivated magic would neglect martial arts, and those who cultivated martial arts would neglect magic—completely different from the dual cultivation of Immortal Severing.

He hadn’t logged off for five whole days. Although Andrew Bennett was a bit reluctant to part with those five ten-thousand-year golden corpses, there was nothing he could do. After the five ten-thousand-year golden corpses disappeared, Andrew Bennett crushed a return-to-town scroll. Back in Jiuli City, Andrew Bennett heard a string of message notifications.

Andrew Bennett didn’t know many people in the game, so he could guess who was messaging him.

David Grant: Boss, what are you up to?

David Grant: Damn, what quest are you doing? Why aren’t you out yet?

David Grant: Bro, it’s been three days.

David Grant: Fourth day.

David Grant: Fifth day, I’m going crazy. What kind of insane quest is this?

Andrew Bennett could imagine David Grant scratching his head in frustration and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He suddenly realized he hadn’t laughed like this in a long time.

“I’m out.” Andrew Bennett sent a message to David Grant.

“Where are you?” David Grant replied to Andrew Bennett.

“Appraisal Club.”

“I’ll be right there.” David Grant got excited as soon as he heard “Appraisal Club.”

“One hundred and thirty-seven gold coins.” The appraiser’s face was expressionless as he spat out a number that made Andrew Bennett nearly cough up blood. Andrew Bennett checked his inventory—he had ninety-three gold coins, eighty of which came from selling skill books and equipment to David Grant, and thirteen he’d earned himself. Andrew Bennett sighed—making money was hard.

Andrew Bennett appraised several pieces of wizard equipment dropped by the Corpse King, spending over thirty gold coins. As Andrew Bennett expected, it was a set.

Corpse King Robe: Defense 11, Spirit +7, Agility +2, Corpse King set component. Grade: Silver.

Corpse King Gauntlets: Defense 5, Spirit +3, Agility +1, Corpse King set component. Grade: Silver.

Corpse King Boots: Defense 6, Spirit +2, Agility +1, Corpse King set component. Grade: Silver.

Set effect: Spell effects increased by 5%.

The stats were pretty good. Andrew Bennett put on the set, his whole body shrouded in the darkness of the Corpse King set. The black light on it flickered faintly, highlighting the extraordinary nature of the set.

Andrew Bennett found himself looking more and more like a dark wizard.

People around who saw Andrew Bennett couldn’t help but look at him with envy. At present, someone as coolly equipped as Andrew Bennett was rare, even in a big city like Jiuli.

“What a beautiful set!” a player looked at Andrew Bennett with admiration.

“Yeah. Who knows when we’ll ever get to wear something like that,” another player said dejectedly.

Chapter 16: Silver Equipment

Andrew Bennett found a seat in the Appraisal Club and sat down, sipping the free tea.

A player who looked like a small-time thug walked in from outside, but his equipment was much better than that of ordinary players—at least a full set of Bronze-grade gear.

“Hey, kid, what’s your name?” the guy asked brazenly.

Andrew Bennett glanced at him coldly. The guy’s equipment was decent, but still inferior to his own. After all, his gear had dropped from level 80 boss monsters, much better than ordinary equipment, and it was a Silver-grade set. Even Bronze-grade sets were rare at the moment, let alone Silver—his was the only one.

Seeing Andrew Bennett remain silent, the guy looked a bit displeased. “I’m James King, the hall master of the Assassin Hall of the Celestial Gods Guild. Kid, are you joining our guild or not? Our guild is Jiuli City’s sec—second largest guild.” James King was clearly unhappy about being second.

“Not interested.” Andrew Bennett disliked the guy’s tone and rejected him outright without hesitation.

“Kid, don’t be so ungrateful.” James King said angrily.
